3.1 Safety Instructions
See chapter 2 Safety for general safety instructions.
3.2 EMC-compliant Installation
To obtain an EMC-compliant installation, follow the instructions provided in the relevant frequency converter Operating Instructions and Design Guide. Refer to the fieldbus master manual from the PLC supplier for further installation guidelines.
3.3 Grounding
· Ensure that all stations connected to the fieldbus
network are connected to the same ground potential. When there are long distances between the stations in a fieldbus network, connect the individual station to the same ground potential. Install equalising cables between the system components.
· Establish a grounding connection with low HF
impedance, for example by mounting the frequency converter on a conductive back plate.
· Keep the ground wire connections as short as
possible.
· Electrical contact between the cable screen and
the frequency converter enclosure or ground is not allowed in Ethernet installations. The RJ45 connector of the Ethernet interface provides an electrical path for the electrical interference to ground.
· Use high-strand wire to reduce electrical
interference.
3.4 Cable Routing
NOTICE
EMC INTERFERENCE
Use screened cables for motor and control wiring, and separate cables for fieldbus communication, motor wiring, and brake resistor. Failure to isolate fieldbus communication, motor, and brake resistor cables can result in unintended behaviour or reduced performance. Minimum 200 mm (7.9 in) clearance between power, motor, and control cables is required. For power sizes above 315 kW, it is recommended to increase the minimum distance of 500 mm (20 in).
NOTICE
When the fieldbus cable crosses a motor cable or a brake resistor cable, ensure that the cables cross at an angle of 90°.

3.5 Topology
The EtherNet/IP MCA 121 module features a built-in Ethernet switch with 2 Ethernet RJ45/M12 connectors. The module enables the connection of several EtherNet/IP options in a line topology as an alternative to a traditional star topology.
The 2 ports are equal. If only 1 connector is used, either port can be used.
Star topology
33
Illustration 3.3 Line Topology
Illustration 3.2 Star Topology
Line topology In many installations, line topology enables simpler cabling and the use of smaller or fewer Ethernet switches. The EtherNet/IP interface supports line topology with its 2 ports and built-in Ethernet switch. When line topology is used, take precautions to avoid time out in the PLC when more than 8 frequency converters are installed in series. Each frequency converter in the network adds a small delay to the communication due to the builtin Ethernet switch. When the update time is too short, the delay can lead to a time out in the PLC. Set the update time as shown in Table 3.1. The numbers given are typical values and can vary from installation to installation.

Table 3.1 Minimum Update Time
NOTICE
In line topology, activate the built-in switch by powering all frequency converters, either by mains or a 24 V DC option card.
NOTICE
Installing frequency converters of different power sizes in line topology may result in unwanted power-off behaviour when using control word timeout (8-02 Control Word Source to 8-06 Reset Control Word Timeout). It is recommended to mount the frequency converters with the longest discharge time first in the line topology. In normal operation, the frequency converters with bigger power sizes have a longer discharge time. Ring/redundant line topology

Ring topology can increase the availability of an Ethernet network.
For ring topology:
· Install a special switch (redundancy manager)
between the PLC and the frequency converters.
· Configure the redundancy manager switch to
clearly define the ports that connect to the ring.
When the ring operates, the main redundancy manager sends test frames into the ring to detect. If the switch detects a fault in the ring, it reconfigures the ring into 2 lines instead. The transition time from 1 ring into 2 lines is up to 500 ms depending on the components installed in the ring. Set the timing of the PLC to ensure that the transition time does not lead to a time-out fault.
NOTICE
For ring/redundant line topology, ensure the redundancy manager switch supports the detection of loss of line topology. The switch inside the EtherNet/IP interface does not support this detection.
Recommended design rules
· Pay special attention to active network
components when designing an Ethernet network.
· For line topology, a small delay is added with
each additional switch in the line. For more information, see Table 3.1.
· Do not connect more than 32 frequency
converters in series. Exceeding this limit can result in unstable or faulty communication.
3.6 Mounting
1. Check whether the fieldbus option is already mounted in the frequency converter. If already mounted, go to step 6.
2. Remove the LCP or blind cover from the frequency converter.
3. Use a screwdriver to remove the front cover and the LCP cradle.
